Bosses at Hull Royal Infirmary have been told they must strip the outside of the hospital’s main building, because it does not meet fire safety laws.
The insulation and cladding on the 13-storey tower block no longer comply with regulations, after a change in the law in 2022 following the Grenfell fire inquiry.
The Humber Health Partnership, which runs the hospital, said the building “continues to be safe”, with 600 fire wardens and “one of the best fire alarm systems”.
It said the materials were “fully compliant” when they were fitted, but Humberside Fire and Rescue Service had issued an order which legally requires the NHS trust to upgrade them.
